Restore files |
Choose one of the following restore methods: |

Restore files interactively - Use this method when you are unsure of the file names because you can browse the media contents and select individual files and directories. | |
|
|
Restore files non-interactively - Using this method is probably faster if you already know the few file names to be restored. | |
|
|
Restore a file system – Use this method when you get a new disk drive or as part of a recovery procedure. | |
